Fire Truck Crisis Leaves South Melbourne Under The Pump!

onight, Fire Station 38 South Melbourne, fire truck was taken offline due to a pump failure, putting firefighters and the community at serious risk.

This truck is 20 years old, exceeding Fire Rescue Victoria’s 15-year service life policy by 5 years. FRV’s fleet is now so outdated and failing that there are no spare fire trucks left to replace broken ones.

This means firefighters at South Melbourne are ready to respond—but with no truck available. How can they protect the community without the proper equipment?

Firefighters have lost confidence in their trucks and in Commissioner Freeman’s leadership. This Fire Crisis must be fixed before tragedy strikes.
